== Installing e4 0.12 June 2012 ==

−

Prep: Go to the [http://download.eclipse.org/e4/downloads integration builds page], navigate to the desired build, then look down in the bottom right corner for "online p2 repo link". Copy the underlying URL.

[1] Note that the Eclipse e4 UI work also requires the EMF runtime. This will be brought in automatically. However, if you wish to view or edit the UI model and you're not a fan of XML source editing, you will want to install the EMF SDK which provides the EMF .xmi editor. Follow "Help" -> "Install New Software..." -> "Models and Model Development" -> "EMF SDK - Eclipse Modeling Framework SDK 2.4.1", then restart Eclipse.
